Si bien ahora se puede llegar a algunas islas en avión y otras están conectadas a tierra firme por puente, el ferri es el único medio para llegar a algunas de las islas más bellas e impresionantes, a playas escondidas u otros destinos costeros. Los ferris más grandes y lentos pueden transportar vehículos y pasajeros por todo el mundo, pero en algunos casos, la única opción para llegar a tu destino es una lancha exprés de alta velocidad, que es más pequeña pero más rápida, o un catamarán. Aunque esta última opción te ahorrará tiempo, te recomendamos ser precavido si eres propenso a marearte. Cuando el mar está agitado, las lanchas rápidas que cortan las olas son una mejor opción que los catamaranes, que cabalgan las olas y hacen que el viaje sea más movido. Para prevenir o superar el mareo, recomendamos tomar un medicamento adecuado: consulta con tu médico antes del viaje. Si es posible, cuando estés a bordo, busca un asiento en la cubierta, al aire libre.
Los viajes en ferri ofrecidos por Yortdoy Travel se pueden reservar online, fácilmente y sin complicaciones, sin tener que perder tiempo trasladándose a la oficina de reservas.

Yortdoy Travel Destinos Principales
Las rutas de transporte más populares cubiertas por Yortdoy Travel incluyen, entre otras:
Yortdoy Travel Tipos de Ferri y Precios de los Billetes
Los ferris de alta velocidad son siempre los más costosos. Si quieres ahorrar dinero, revisa si hay algún tipo de barco más lento para tu ruta; normalmente las tarifas son mucho más económicas. Por norma general, conviene informarse sobre la duración del viaje antes de reservar. Para las rutas más largas, la diferencia en el tiempo de viaje puede ser enorme. Ten en cuenta que no todas las tarifas de billetes o clases de asientos están disponibles siempre y en todas las rutas. En temporada alta, conviene reservar con antelación, ya que la disponibilidad de las cabinas privadas, que son más costosas, suele ser limitada. Comprar billetes a última hora para las rutas más populares durante estos periodos puede conllevar largas colas de espera. Algunos destinos tienen más de un muelle o diferentes muelles para distintas compañías de ferri, por eso se recomienda verificar desde qué muelle se sale y a cuál se llega antes de emprender el viaje. Toma tiempo suficiente antes de la salida para encontrar tu barco y realizar el check-in. Estos trámites pueden durar hasta un par de horas en las rutas internacionales. Por último, es importante saber que algunos muelles aplican su propia tasa portuaria a todos los pasajeros que llegan. Esta tasa no suele estar incluida en el precio del billete.
Viajar en Ferri: Ventajas y Desventajas
Las Ventajas de Viajar en Ferri
Tomar un barco te permite llegar a algunas islas, playas y destinos costeros a los que de otro modo no se puede acceder. Los viajes en ferri pueden ser largos y provocar mareo, pero valen la pena porque ofrecen la oportunidad de visitar playas paradisíacas y algunos de los lugares más escondidos y menos explorados.
Los billetes de ferri pueden reservarse online. Esto te ahorrará tiempo y garantizará que tu itinerario de viaje se desarrolle según lo previsto. La opción de reserva anticipada es conveniente, sobre todo cuando se viaja en temporada alta, fiestas nacionales o fines de semana largos, porque en estos períodos hay muchas ventas de billetes y las rutas tienen un número limitado de barcos.
Para algunas rutas se puede escoger la clase del asiento o la cabina. A veces, los compartimentos privados o cabinas estándar incluyen servicios extra, pero no es la norma. Comprueba lo que incluye tu tarifa para que puedas sacar el mayor provecho a tu viaje.
Viajar en ferri siempre es divertido. Te permite ver los lugares que vas a visitar o por los que pasas desde un ángulo diferente. Desde el agua, los paisajes se ven espectaculares... ¡y totalmente distintos!. Viajar en barco es una oportunidad única para tomar fotos y vídeos fantásticos y originales: ¡aprovéchala!
Desventajas de los Viajes en Ferri
A menudo, la mayor preocupación cuando se viaja en barco es el mareo, una experiencia molesta y desagradable. Aunque nunca te hayas mareado en un viaje de ferri, no quiere decir que tu próximo viaje será igual de tranquilo. El mar agitado y los viajes en lancha rápida pueden hacer que hasta los estómagos más fuertes se resientan. Sigue las recomendaciones que te dimos anteriormente y toma tus medicamentos media hora antes del viaje. Comer algo ligero antes de viajar es algo que también puede ayudar: hay más posibilidades de marearse con el estómago vacío.
Los retrasos y las cancelaciones son habituales en los viajes de ferri, ya que dependen en gran medida de las condiciones meteorológicas y marítimas. Esto afecta sobre todo los viajes de temporada baja. Las lluvias, el mar revuelto y el mal tiempo pueden interferir con tu itinerario de viaje. Trata de mantener un itinerario flexible y no planifiques conexiones de vuelo demasiado cercanas a tus viajes de ferri, aunque se prevea buen tiempo en ese período.

Sería más bien un 2.5/5. El servicio por parte de la compañía es óptimo, ya que en todo momento te guían y te avisan de cómo proceder. En la parte tailandesa no hay problema ninguno, llegamos a la frontera y el control migratorio fue muy sencillo. El problema empieza al llegar a la parte laosiana, donde al cruzar debes estar alrededor de 4 o 5 horas en una minivan en carreteras llenas de baches y caminos de tierra. Pensábamos que la gente en otros comentarios exageraban y, sinceramente, se quedaron cortos. A la próxima, un vuelo evitará un trayecto que no es para nada recomendable.

La empresa no vino a recogernos a la hora acordada, tuvimos que llamar para decir que estábamos ahí y finalmente salimos media hora más tarde de lo acordado.
El conductor agradable y el coche cómodo.
En lugar de eso, reserva a través de tu casa de huéspedes. Pagamos mucho más para ir a través de 12go/Yortday travel, pero el servicio fue muy malo. El billete decía 8:30 salida y estar listo 30 minutos antes. A las 8:40 no había aparecido nadie, así que envié un mensaje y me dijeron que entre las 9:00 y las 9:20. Después de enviar un mensaje a las 9:20, me dijeron que no. Después de enviar un mensaje a las 9:20 me dijeron que serían 10 minutos. Parece ser que el vehículo que viene de Chiang Rai se encarga de la recogida, por lo que también te retrasas por cualquier demora en la frontera, lo que anula en cierto modo la idea de alojarse en Huay Xai, aparte del coste extra.
Tuvimos un problema que requería una intervención inmediata en el hospital, por lo que no pudimos hacer todo el viaje. Han cuidado muy bien de nosotros e incluso estaban dispuestos a traernos de vuelta a la frontera unos días más tarde de forma gratuita. ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente esta empresa! El autobús en sí era súper cómodo y había muchas paradas para ir al baño.

Driver forgot to pick us up. No apology. Picked us up only after the hotel intervened and called them directly. We were picked up in the back of a truck tuktuk. Driver had no communication skills at all. We were left standing outside a waiting area with no information for 1 1/2 hours wait. No communication at all.

God, we were supposed to arrive at 9 am, instead we arrived at 3:30 pm. It was like a 23 hour bus drive holy hell.
The boat was very uncomfortable with old chair seats that weren't bolted to the floor!
There weren't enough life jackets so thankfully we didn't need them,!
Toilets -Well what can I say -held off for 2days!!!
Honestly this has to be a health and safety nightmare!
Apart from the above the views are wonderful!!!
The wrong time for the departure, not bus 45 and no information from you stating how to obtain the bus ticket and not as you said to scan the QR code to the driver. Everything from travelling by train and bus you give wrong information.

The Thai side of the transfer was perfect no complaints at all. However, the Laos transfer was awful. The driver was rude and drove about 100 miles an hour down these dirt roads and was overtaking on blind corners. I’ve been travelling SEA for 3 months and it was the worst driving I have experienced. No toilet breaks either. Dreadful.

Driver was texting and listening to/sending voice messages for most of the trip. Picked up locals randomly and gave them breaks but not the rest of us. Tried to stop us having a toilet break, only managed to have a piss because two of our group just walked off to find a toilet before he could stop us. Driver spoke basically no english at all, drive was uncomfortable, road is horrendous and his driving didn't improve it. We booked this to save money and time compared to the slow boat, and thought this may be more comfortable than the budget slow boat. we wished we just went with the boat

The sleeper bus to the border was so bumpy and hard unable to sleep. The bus left 2 hours after the original bus time. Once arrived at the bus station near the Thai border there was no instructions on how to get to the border so we had to call the bus company. The bus from the Thai border was much better.

I suppose it’s what I expected for a sleeper bus but the experience was just a bit confusing and uncomfortable. The van/car to the border was fine but the bus and the roads after the border in Laos were quite bad, I think I slept 2-3 hours total out of 15 on the bus. I suppose it’s nothing anyone can do but it seems expensive for the experience you get.
There’s a lack of communication. We arrived 2 hours later and had to wait over an hour in an extremely hot bus without ac at the border. I would advise to take the public bus as it is way cheaper and probably faster.

Pick up was a bit chaotic and we left earlier than the scheduled time, but that may have been because everybody was on the van already. The driver was watching videos on his phone the entire drive which felt very unsafe. The driver also tried to kick everyone out at the Laos border, although most people had booked a transfer to their hotel in Chiang Khong. Only after some discussion did he let us back on the van and drove everyone to the agreed drop off points.

All good. The only thing I saw could be better is the organization of they boat fron Pakbeng to Luan Prabang, we were at the last minute trying to make room for more and more people and in they end another boat departured too, so that second boat was only a few people there, while we on the first boat were really packed.
I think makes more sense to distribute more evenly or plan ahead or estimate the amount of people they expect.

This operator advertised the trip with a duration that was, in hindsight, totally unrealistic, and we arrived with a huge delay. Furthermore, the difference between the total price and the actual price of the night bus (excluding the transfer) was way too high (so the offer was overpriced). The only positive thing I see is that the transfer driver was very friendly.
Arrived on time. We got transferred to the border they told us what to do and gave us te ticket for the bridge transfer. He made a picture of is so the driver on the other side knows who to take. Very comfortable drive.
In the voucher it said that hotel pick-up would be one hour before departure, actually the minivan arrived about 30 minutes before departure. Anyway, situation was explained when calling the operator.
We had to wait at the Transfer for two other passengers that didn't arrive, so at the end we started later than scheduled, but this was not responsibility of the driver, who brought me rapidly to my destination.

Very good job, but the air conditionned was so strong.
The part in Thailand was an absolute pleasure! The driver was super nice and on time. The car was very good as well.
The service at the borders was a bit confusing but okay. Just once of the travelling companions didn’t get her train QR code at the borehole so she couldn’t continue and had to stay over at the train station village for another day! So be careful to get the QR code at the border.
However, the part in Laos is where the “fun” starts. We thought that the van part is done and we’ll be taken to a train, but no! You’ll get another van for about 4,5h. You’d think, no problem I’ll just work, watch film, read a book, scroll insta or whatever.. on the way. Just forget it, the only thing you’ll do the whole way is to hold hard on to something and to pray to god that you’ll survive and reach your destination in one piece! And it absolutely doesn’t matter if you are an atheist! 🤣
Ok I’m a little bit exaggerating but honestly only very little.. it was the scariest ride I have experienced in my entire life and I have been travelling Asia for a couple of months already 😅 I very much doubt that the driver has a driver’s license (or he is Thai and is used to driving left ) and I’m sure he has no clue about something as a safety of his passengers 😅 so so so many risks he took while overtaking another vehicle and I’m not even talking about his speed! You’re just flying from side to side during his crazy flight. He was insane!
It definitely was an experience I will never forget but I doubt I will ever take this ride again 😄
There was no toilet stop during the 4h drive! We had to request one after 3h as it was unbearable anymore.
PS: if you are experiencing just a little bit of a motion sickness, I advise you to take a pill before this trip!
Once we arrived to the train station, the driver kicked us out and that was it! No explanation, no instructions, nothing. And there was super mess! There were vans picking and dropping people everywhere, a few hundred of people waiting in front of the station, total mess and we didn’t know what to do or what time the train leaves 🙈 (one of our travelling companions didn’t get her train ticket and there was not a single person to help her! If that happens to you, just call the company you booked the trip from, they will sort it out for you as nobody else can)
Once we managed to get through the security (3x small 250mil water was ok and we didn’t try larger container and small kitchen knife was ok as well) the train was nice, comfortable and on time.

Driver was perfectly on time and we arrived quicker than expected. I found the driver very safe and secure apart from him driving between 100 and 120km/hr through towns. We made excellent time but at times I was nervous of the speed he travelled through buit up areas. Other than that, no complaints.

As soon as I finished the payment I got a a 404 error, without a confirmation. Later it came and it was all good
Everything was great until I got to Chiang Rai. It turned out they hadn’t booked my bus ticket to Chiang Mai, and all the buses were full until 3 p.m. (the last one of the day). I had to wait from 9:30 a.m., when I arrived in Chiang Rai, until 3 p.m. I was supposed to arrive in Chiang Mai around 3:30 p.m. but ended up getting there at 7:30 p.m.
My experience was incredible, unbeatable. A driver came to pick us up at the hotel and took us directly to our hotel in Chiang Mai! No need to take a bus, the car was super comfortable, and the driver was very friendly and attentive. My experience is a 10!
Transfer to the border was great, staff were helpful and it was organised. The bus then to the train station was awful. It was 5 hours (which 12Go had not said) on dirt tracks. Our driver stopped multiple times. The train however was fine, it was 2.5 hrs and on schedule.

Everything worked perfectly and smoothly, by far the best option to cross from Chiang Rai to Luang prabang. This was after all the agencies said they couldn't find a trip that was this short, so i was very surprised to find it in 12go.
